Chapter 136


    Mabel looked toward Polly and said in a serious manner, “Ms. McDaniels, you have a bright future. I


    will remember what you said today, and yes, I might actually need your help in the future.”


    Polly smiled. “I would never refuse to help!”


    Mabel returned a smile. “Thank you in advance!”


    Then, she said to Jonathan, “Jonathan, go and get ready. Inform the girls about it. We will set out


    tonight.”


    Jonathan nodded and bade farewell to Polly and Mabel.


    He asked Polly to enter the restaurant first, as he needed to call Jennifer.


    On the phone, Jonathan asked Jennifer to bring Winnie along to Faike as soon as possible.


    Jennifer was confused. She asked anxiously, “What happened?”


    In fact, she had an ominous feeling when she heard his words, and she didn''t want to leave her


    hometown.


    Jonathan continued, “I had a fighting match with Leonardo today, and I killed him. Now, there''s a crazy


    person who wants to avenge him. If she fails to take her revenge on me, she will turn to you instead.


    So, I need to send you and Amber to a safe ce.”


    Jennifer shivered upon hearing that and asked worriedly, “Do we need to keep hiding like this from now


    on, then?”


    Jonathan replied, “I will solve this problem as quickly as possible.”


    Hearing that, Jennifer stopped asking questions, as she realized the seriousness of the situation as


    well.


    After the phone call ended, Jonathan entered the restaurant.


    Polly didn''t say anything. After all, this matter had to be announced by Jonathan.


    After a moment''s thought, Jonathan told the girls about the impending danger and suggested they hid


    in Yaleview for a while.


    Amber didn''t disagree. Since she could meet her grandfather there, she was willing to go.


    Jessica and Yasmin hesitated for a moment and agreed with the n as well. After all, the situation


    was indeed serious.


    Jonathan promised again to solve the problem as soon as possible.


    Then, he called Morgan to tell him that he couldn''t join him for dinner that night.


    Morgan was grateful that Jonathan didn''t go all out on his son in the tournament earlier. When he heard


    that Jonathan couldn''t make it to the dinner, he could not help but feel rather disappointed.


    Not wanting to go into the details, Jonathan merely exined that they had an emergency to attend to.


    Morgan did not want to force the situation. Thus, he could only agree that they should meet another


    time.


    After making the arrangements, Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief.


    When their meal ended, he brought the girls to meet up with Mabel.


    Mabel was staying in the presidential suite of Crown Hotel. Later that night, the military aircraft from


    Yaleview wouldnd on the rooftop of Crown Hotel.


    By the time Jonathan settled down the three girls, it was already six in the evening. By then, Jennifer


    had arrived too. Jonathan went to get her and Winnie. Winnie was excited when she saw Jonathan. As


    Jonathan held Winnie in his arms and saw how lively she was, he couldn''t help but feel blissful. Then


    he brought Jennifer and Winnie to the suite to meet Amber and the others.


    After that, Mabel asked Polly, and Jonathan to leave with her to deal with some matters.


    The three of them left Crown Hotel quickly, leaving Jennifer and her daughter with Amber and the


    others.


    The atmosphere in the room suddenly became slightly awkward.


    In fact, even Yasmin, who was the humblest among them, felt a distance between them and Jennifer.


    After all, they were not destined to be friends.


    Amber, Yasmin, and Jessica got along well, but all of them found Jennifer a little unlikeable, especially


    Amber and Jessica.


    Even Jonathan didn''t expect that.


    At that moment, the only person who bothered to wee Jennifer was Yasmin, while Amber and


    Jessica only cared about their own businesses. However, even though they didn''t bother much about


    Jennifer, they treated Winnie well. After all, they were both kind souls.


    The night arrived slightlyter in Faike. Thus, although it was already six in the evening, the sky was


    still bright and beautiful.


    The three who had just left the hotel got into the Maybach.


    Jonathan couldn''t help but ask, “Mabel, is there anything else you want us to do?”


    Mabel said, “Do you still remember Lucian?”


    Jonathan was momentarily stunned before replying, “Of course.”


    Mabel said, “You should know how extreme Lucian''s personality is. And now, not only have you


    defeated him, you''d blinded one of his eyes as well. You should know that Lucian is a man who cares


    about his appearance a lot. Right now, I''m betting that you''re the person he hates the most. This guy is


    at the Nascent Soul level, and if he goes mad, he''d be nothing short of a ticking bomb. If you don''t


    solve this problem now, you will be in trouble in the future.”


    Jonathan shuddered as he remembered Lucian. That man didn''t have any morals. He had made


    Jonathan help him in reaching Nascent Soul while they were in the fighting ring. However, the first thing


    he wanted to do after that was to kill Jonathan.


    Judging by his personality, he would indeed be hard to deal with once he went crazy.


    As Jonathan thought about this, his eyes were instantly filled with murderous intent. He was


    determined to be kind toward others. However, if someone tried to give him trouble, he would have no


    choice but to fight back. Besides, he had suffered significant losses by being kind to Lucian. However,


    Jonathan was suddenly confused and turned toward Mabel with a question. “Are you asking me to kill


    Lucian now?”


    Mabel was straightforward. “You don''t necessarily have to kill him either. Just go meet him and try to


    find out his intentions. If he''s of no danger, then you don''t have to bother about him. However, if he''s


    revengeful, then you''d have to kill him.”


    Jonathan''s expression changed. “B-But— D*mn it! Aren''t you a public officer? You should know that


    murder is a crime, and yet, you''re instigating me to kill someone now?”


    Mabel remained calm. ncing disdainfully at Jonathan, she said, “You need to remember this. Even


    though I''m a public officer, I belong to the Department of National Security. Do you know what national


    security means? It means the safety of the country, which has to be protected. If Lucian turns out to be


    a threat to society, then it''d be my responsibility to destroy him.”


    Jonathan shivered. “You''re in such a powerful position. Doesn''t this mean that you can kill whoever you


    want, and it''d still be legal?”


    Mabel answered, “You could say that. However, the members of the Department of National Security


    were chosen carefully, and the most important criterion that was evaluated in each individual is their


    morals and principles. That''s especially the case for my position. Besides, I have a superior who is


    monitoring me. He will question and investigate everything I do.”


    Jonathan finally understood as Polly remained quiet at his side, saying nothing.


    Jonathan asked again, “So, is Lucian still in Faike now?”


    Mabel said, “I have found out his location. We still have time. If you want to have a talk with him, you


    should go now.”

    Jonathan felt a little frustrated. “Why do I feel like you''re just using me?”


    Mabel couldn''t help but give him a knock on his head with her knuckles. “You''re so ungrateful. I''ve put


    in so much work for you, and you dare to say that I''m using you? Do you think I don''t want to go after


    Lucian myself? Then how should I report the incident to my superiors? I can''t just tell him that I did it


    just because I think Lucian''s a potential threat! Jonathan, you need to know if Lucian starts looking for


    trouble, the first thing he''d do is take revenge on you. When that timees, you''d end up his victim.”


    Jonathan smiled awkwardly. He knew that he was being too cautious as well.


    “Ha! I was kidding. Let''s go now, then,” said Jonathan.


    With that, Mabel started the car and drove off.


    Just then, Jonathan had a thought. “Oh, right, Lucian''s grandfather, Peacock King, isn''t a simple


    person. Wouldn''t he go crazy if we kill his grandchild?”


    Mabel replied, “Peacock King is not a crazy man. He will only go after you but not the people around


    you. So, he''s not that big of a threat.”


    Jonathan understood and agreed with Mabel''s point. He then said, “Well, since the Holy Bounds Sect is


    more dangerous, why don''t you guys deal with them?”


    Mabel answered, “It''s not that we don''t want to, but Holy Bounds Sect has a lot of connections. We


    can''t make a move on them. I will exin it to you once we get to Yaleview. The most our organization


    could do is to partially eliminate some of the threats in society.”


    Jonathan instantly understood her words and didn''t say anything further on that subject.


    After half an hour, Mabel''s Maybach stopped in front of a yard. The ce was an agritourism resort. It


    was in a remote location, but the crops and poultry there were all organic. Such a marketing trick easily


    attracted customers.


    After parking the car, Mabel said to Jonathan, “Ms. McDaniels and I will block Lucian''s exits. You may


    go ahead to meet him.”


    Jonathan nodded but said worriedly, “What if this guy merely pretends to back down because he


    senses danger? I can''t possibly kill him if he apologizes to me and bes all friendly toward me, can


    I?”


    Mabel said, “Don''t worry. He won''t feel the presence of Ms. McDaniels and me.”


    Jonathan nced at Mabel meaningfully.


    She''s saying that she will use her cultivation to block Lucian''s sensitivity. I''ll be d*mned! I wonder


    what''s her cultivation level now.


    Jonathan walked into the agritourism resort, and he instantly found it strange that there were no


    customers there.


    The moment Jonathan entered, a service staff said to him, “Hello, sir! I''m sorry, but our ce has been


    booked for a few days, so we''re not open for business.”


    Raising his head, Jonathan saw the “closed” sign on the door.


    He then said to the service staff with a smile, “I know the ce is not open for business now. However,


    I''m meeting up with a friend here. Something is wrong with his eye.”


    “Oh? Are you Mr. Yandell''s friend?” The service staff came to a realization.


    Jonathan said, “Yes. Please bring me to him.”


    The service staff replied immediately, “Sure. Follow me.” Then, he turned and headed inside.


    Jonathan followed behind. He was really good at lying.
